If Everyone Is Cooking At Home, Why Isn't Whole Foods Booming?

Description

With so many people working from home, restaurant traffic is down but grocery stores are getting plenty of business. But according to Business Insider, Whole Foods had 21% fewer visitors across its stores on October 4 compared to the same day last year. That flies in the face of other grocery store chains, where traffic is bouncing back much faster. At Kroger's, for example, business was only down 2%. A Whole Foods spokesperson said stores normally get a lot of lunchtime trade from office workers, who are now working from home. Sales of packaged sandwiches and salads have fallen 75%. For every five in-store shoppers Whole Foods Markets had last October, it now only has four.

  • How To Keep Your Grocery Bills Reasonable Even When Everyone's Stuck At Home

    For the tens of millions who have lost their jobs in the wake of the pandemic, life at home has also changed dramatically for millions of Americans. According to Business Insider contributor Rebecca Chamaa, there are ways to keep your grocery bill under control, even if eating out is no longer an option. First, start with shopping by list, not by impulse. Plan your meals and shop accordingly. Pick recipes that use what you've already got. Become a big fan of leftovers. Freeze excess portions, and dub one night a week 'Leftover Buffet.' Finally, check expiration dates. Make soup stock from vegetables before they go off. Buy foods just about to go off from the bargain rack, and use immediately.

  • Roasted Bats, Skewered Rats and Sliced Snakes - Tomohon Food Market Has It All

    Warning, this video is only for the most adventurous food lovers. If you've got a weak stomach or if you get squeemish about food, then we suggest that you steer clear of the Tomohon food market in the norther part of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, which is famous for its selection of questionable and exotic food. Tourists and locals alike flock to the Tomohon food market to get a taste of dishes that they won't be able to try anywhere else. Instead of fresh fruits and vegetables, like you might expect to find at your normal, run-of-the-mill food market, Tomohon vendors fills their stands with the oddest of the odd, including sliced-open pythons, flame-roasted bats and skewered rats, which are all usually butchered into pieces and cooked on sight at the customers' request. Foods come from all over the tropical island nation of Indonesia and most include animals and insects that are usually seen in the zoo and not on the dinner plate. However, another dish offered by vendors at the Tomohon market makes some people stick their tongues out in disgust while also causing animals rights groups to go up in arms. Living dogs kept in cages are bludgeoned to death after being purchased by a customer and are roasted on the spot on the fire. Customers can then eat freshly roasted dog meat. Tomohon market is full of strange and odd types of food, some of which might be interesting to try, and others which are probably best left alone.
